In a blink of an eye, it was evening.
Zhu Feng led his horse and stopped at a street corner. This place was not easy to attract attention, only a small head appeared behind him from time to time, looking forward.
Across the street is the Yamen of Changqing City.
The governor and the procuratorate both work here, and there are two mighty big stone lions at the entrance, but the gate of the yamen is tightly closed.
A young man patted on the door for a long time, and finally called it open. Two guards came out from inside. After saying a few words, they pushed the young man away impatiently, and the door closed again.
The boy staggered two steps, could only turn around, and quickly ran to the corner of the street.
"My lord."
Zhu Feng looked down at the boy: "How?"
"My lord, I just went there, and the people in the yamen said that neither the governor nor the inspector are in the yamen."
"Not here? Where did you go?"
"I heard that I went to King Ning's mansion early in the morning to celebrate King Ning's birthday."
"oh?"
After hearing this, Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned his head to look at the sky in the sky. At this moment, it was already dusk. He murmured: "I went early in the morning and haven't come back yet?"
The young man said: "Yes, the people in the yamen felt strange again, saying that they haven't come back yet. They also sent people to Ning Wang's mansion to ask, but the gate of Ning Wang's mansion has been closed tightly, saying that it is a birthday banquet. It's not over, no one is allowed to come in and out to disturb. The people in the yamen dare not disturb King Ning's birthday banquet, so they dare not rush."
"..."
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, and casually threw it to the young man: "Take it and buy fruit to eat."
The boy had never seen so much money before, and he didn't expect that he was just wandering in the street today, and he met this noble man who looked up to him and said that he asked him to go to the yamen to inquire about something, and the inquiry was over. Then there will be rewards. He originally thought that this person was just looking for his own pleasure, but after being curious to give it a try, he did not expect that he really made a lot of money.
Immediately he was so happy that he smiled, "Thank you, sir."
After finishing speaking, he took his money and ran away.
Standing at the corner of the street, Zhu Feng took another look at the closed governor's yamen, his eyes darkened slightly.
Nan Yan stood behind him, at this moment, she poked out another small head, and said softly, "Ah—"
Zhu Feng looked back at her.
Obviously, she was also worried.
Zhu Feng said, "I'm afraid things have changed."
"ah?"
"I don't know whether the birthday banquet in Prince Ning's Mansion will be held until night, but the gate is closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave. This matter is definitely not simple."
"Ah? Ah!"
"Past? Now—don't go to the past for now, I still want to stay here and figure it out."
"ah?"
"Even if we go to Prince Ning's mansion now, the gates are closed, we might sneak in, and we shouldn't get close easily. However, King Ning can't leave a governor's office alone. If he does anything, the first thing to do , it should be here."
"..."
Nan Yan stared at him with wide eyes.
But suddenly, some understand.
So, the two still stood at the corner of the street, but this time, they didn't wait too long, and within a quarter of an hour, they heard the sound of horseshoes and footsteps coming from the other side of the long street, and there were quite a few people coming.
Carefully looking up, a hundred or so guards came from the long street, armed with swords, and surrounded the entire governor's yamen as soon as they came.
The leader among them was Shi Shi Yiru, the head of Prince Ning's residence.
He was accompanied by two first-class guards. After dismounting from his horse, he walked directly to the governor's office and knocked on the door.
When several officials from the governor's yamen saw that it was Shi, the head of the palace, they rushed out to greet him.
"Shi Changshi?"
As he said that, he looked around again. The guards of the palace surrounded their entire governor's office, and suddenly felt bad, and asked, "What's the meaning of this?"
Shi Yiru gave them a cold look, then took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, and said, "There is no morality in today's world, and the heavens are angry with people! According to the envoy Wen Yewen, Lord Wen Yewen has decided to rebel against the innocent, so let me I have come to inform you governors of the yamen to follow in Lord Wen's footsteps and raise an army together to eradicate the chaos and innocence!"
"What?!"
Several officials originally thought it was just a trivial matter to come out, but they didn't expect that when Shi Yiru opened his mouth, it turned out to be a major event.
They couldn't believe their ears.
On the other side, Zhu Feng, who was hiding behind the wall, frowned when he heard these words.
Seeing the stunned expressions of several officials, Shi Yiru said, "Why don't you open the gate and let King Ning's troops in?"
Several officials were a little lost.
However, one of the youngest officials, who was only in his twenties, reacted the fastest, and immediately said: "Impossible! The current emperor is the leader of great promise, and Mr. Wen is also the emperor's capable general. How could he raise an army to rebel?" ? It must be you talking nonsense and bewitching the crowd!"
With that said, he spread his arms to block the door: "I will never let you in."
Seeing him like this, Shi Yiru's eyes flashed coldly, and he winked at the guards behind him, and the two guards immediately stepped forward and drew their swords in their hands.
Seeing a flash of cold light, the little official screamed and fell into a pool of blood.
Shi Yiru snorted coldly and was about to go in.
However, just as he was about to step into the gate, he suddenly felt his footsteps sink, looked down, and saw that it was the little official who would rather die than submit, gritted his teeth and hugged his leg, and said fiercely: "I will never let you make trouble! "
"Stubborn!"
Seeing his shoes and socks soaked in the blood of that man, Shi Yiru suddenly felt an ominous feeling.
He suddenly pulled out the sword from the waist of a guard next to him, and pierced the little official's chest with a sword.
Immediately, half of his body was stained red with blood.
The little official finally fell down.
The officials around were so frightened by this scene that they didn't have the strength to speak, and they all fell to their knees, not daring to resist.
Shi Yiru handed over the call to action to one of them, and said, "Copy a hundred copies immediately, and post them everywhere in the name of your governor's office. First, post them on the towers of Changqing City, so that all the common people can see them."
The official could only say submissively: "Yes..."
After Shi Yiru finished speaking, he stepped on the little official's body and walked into the governor's office.
On this side, Zhu Feng looked at this scene with a gloomy expression.
After a while, he heard a slight sobbing sound behind him, and when he looked back, it was Nan Yan, who bit a finger in her mouth, and the finger was already bloodstained.
At that scene just now, she almost shed tears.
However, in order not to let her emotions collapse, in order not to cry out, she could only bite her fingers.
Looking up at Zhu Feng: "Ah..."
